Automation QA Engineer with expertise in test automation frameworks.
What I'm looking for
I am an Automation QA Engineer with a strong background in designing and implementing test automation frameworks for web applications and REST services. Currently, I work at Tekvortex, where I have successfully optimized automated tests using the POM pattern and a data-driven testing approach, achieving a 31% reduction in production sanity time. My role involves leading QA efforts for the RANE Mobile App, where I provide QA effort estimation and curate module-specific regression suites.
In my previous role as a Software QA Contractor at LegalFit, I spearheaded risk-based test plans and created Gherkin-style test cases, which enabled rapid and robust test artifact creation. I also wrote regression test scripts in Postman, significantly reducing regression time from 40 minutes to just 20 seconds. My experience includes conducting defect triage and collaborating across teams to ensure quality deliverables.
With a BSc in Computer Science and Information Technology, I possess a solid foundation in programming languages such as Python and JavaScript. I am passionate about bridging the gap between development and testing, ensuring that quality is maintained throughout the software development lifecycle.
